Chapter 74 Beijing Ruins - 10 Tang Bufan vs...

Tang Bufan is very sensitive to the sound of the bell. From the age of seven when he started elementary school until he graduated and became a teacher, he has spent more than ten years of his life listening to the bell.

His body has thus developed a subconscious response, and he can wake up no matter how sleepy or tired he is when he hears the alarm.

The two beastmen beside him were stunned when the man, who had been sleeping silently, suddenly sat up.

Anderson then gave a cold laugh.

“What did I tell you?” Anderson said smugly. “I’ve spent ten years in a mental hospital. Nobody knows better than me how to provoke someone.”

Lu Yi ignored Anderson. When he saw that Tang Bufan had finally woken up, his eyes reddened, and he bent down and hugged him tightly.

“Teacher! You’re finally awake…” Lu Yi’s throat tightened, and he could barely hold back his sobs. He had been living in fear for 20 days, and he was really afraid that Tang Bufan would suffer brain death due to the high fever caused by the mutation.

This is a case that two anxious orcs found online, and it sent chills down their spines.

Fortunately, Tang Bufan finally woke up.

Tang Bufan seemed to be in great pain, scratching wildly at Lu Yi's back and head with both hands. His five fingers now had sharp claws, so Anderson immediately reached out and grabbed Tang Bufan's wildly flailing hands to prevent him from scratching Lu Yi's face again.

"So...so stuffy..." Tang Bufan gasped for breath, unable to bear Lu Yi's embrace any longer, while someone else was gripping his hand tightly beside him. He finally realized that his eyes were wrapped in bandages, and asked in a panic, "My eyes?"

Lu Yi snapped out of her daze and quickly released Tang Bufan, removing the bandage from his face: "Teacher, don't worry, your eyes are fine."

Anderson saw that Tang Bufan had gradually calmed down and his hands were no longer grabbing around so wildly, so he let go of his hands and went to pull the curtains of the RV.

The newly mutated sub-orcs have sensitive eyes and are not suitable for exposure to strong light.

The carriage suddenly darkened, and the two beastmen stared nervously at the man. As the bandages fell away, a pair of long-lashed eyes were revealed.

Like a newborn fawn opening its eyes, the man's eyelashes trembled slightly. He slowly opened his eyes a crack, revealing eyes as black as obsidian. He seemed unaccustomed to it, frowning and quickly closing them again. His thin, pink eyelids blinked several times before he finally opened them completely.

"..." Tang Bufan stared blankly at the two of them. He was still thin, but while he was unconscious, the two beastmen kept feeding him nutrient solution, and his cheeks had grown a little flesh. His complexion had become very beautiful, fair with a light pink tinge and a hint of cold blue, as translucent as an expensive human doll.

"..." Lu Yi hugged him, somewhat stunned. She had thought Tang Bufan was good-looking, but she hadn't expected him to be this good-looking.

"..." Anderson frowned, remembering how he used to call him ugly...

Tang Bufan hadn't yet recovered from his mutation. He looked up at the person in front of him, at the dimly lit carriage, at the windows letting in light, and felt... how bright the world was.

But the RV was actually dimly lit. Tang Bufan found it hard to describe the brightness; it was like... like a rural night, a kind of bright dimness that allowed people to see everything around them clearly.

He suddenly felt disoriented, even having the illusion that he was still dreaming. His eyes became somewhat blurry. The world was clearly the same world, but it felt completely different to him.

"Teacher?" Lu Yi called out to Tang Bufan in a low voice, seeing him in a daze.

Tang Bufan's fleeting gaze returned to his face. He remained silent for a moment, then suddenly leaned closer to Lu Yi and sniffed, before abruptly turning away and dry heaving.

"It stinks..." Tang Bufan gagged, then raised his arm and sniffed it again...

"Ugh!" He vomited even more violently.

Lu's face instantly turned red, and Anderson pursed his lips, silently taking a few steps back so that Tang Bufan wouldn't smell his scent... The three of them hadn't showered for two months.

Tang Bufan instinctively rushed into the toilet. Lu Yi wanted to follow but was too embarrassed. He saw the man close the toilet door and shout, "I'm going to take a shower... Ugh!"

Tang Bufan did indeed smell bad. There were bloodstains from twenty days ago on the front of his clothes, and the high fever caused him to sweat for several days. He felt that he smelled like stinky feet.

The sound of a shower soon filled the bathroom. After a moment of silence, the two orcs still in the carriage simultaneously opened the windows and doors to air out the smell.

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Yi began tidying up the messy carriage, while Anderson sat by the window.

But Lu Yi was clearly not focused on cleaning. He picked up the antique mirror that had fallen to the ground and stood by the brightly lit door, nervously reaching out to tidy his hair.

"Stop being so vain. What you need to do now is sleep." Anderson looked at Lu Yi, whose face was haggard and whose eyes were bloodshot. During the 21 days that Tang Bufan was in a coma, Lu Yi had hardly let go of him and couldn't sleep at all.

Anderson is better off; although he is also anxious, he at least goes out for a walk and picks up trash.

"..." Lu Yi fell silent, sadly putting down the mirror and reaching out to touch his haggard face.

"Alright, stop playing the victim." Anderson said with some disdain. Although he understood Lu Yi's feelings, after all, Tang Bufan had suddenly become handsome, they weren't ugly to the point of being unbearable to look at.

After thinking for a moment, Anderson waved to Lu and said, "Let me look in the mirror too."

Lu Yi didn't look good right now, so he didn't fight with Anderson for the mirror. He handed the mirror over and walked to the other side of the folding table, looking sullen.

Anderson looked at his neck in the mirror. The large blisters that had previously covered his neck had peeled off and been replaced. Thanks to the orc's powerful regenerative abilities, the red marks had almost disappeared.

Anderson patted it with satisfaction, listening to the sound of Tang Bufan showering, and then said to the young orc beside him, "See that pink shopping bag on the ground? Pick it up and take a look."

Several bags were lying on the ground in the RV, all the spoils of Anderson's scavenging in Beijing during this period. Lu Yi saw the pink shopping bag and, not knowing why, bent down to pick it up.

He placed it on his lap, opened it, and saw that it contained several small, well-sealed boxes with both English and Chinese printing. The English printing was likely the brand name.

【durex】

"What is this?" Lu Yi asked Anderson curiously. It looked a bit like a cigarette box, and the small print on it was in Chinese, which he couldn't understand.

"Condoms." Anderson was still looking in the mirror when he turned to the eighteen-year-old orc. "You know how to use them, right?"

Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, then his face turned bright red. Condoms had been discontinued a thousand years ago, partly due to scarcity and partly to boost the birth rate. Now, only some small workshops in underground cities might still be producing these things for special groups.

Many uneducated orcs had never even heard of the word "condom".

Although Lu Yi knew about it, this was the first time he had seen it.

"My relationship with the teacher... hasn't reached that point yet," Lu Yi stammered, her face flushed, deliberately lowering her voice. Then, she frowned and put the box of condoms back into the shopping bag. "I don't want this."

"You don't want it?" Anderson picked up a candle from the table and threw it at him, cursing, "What are you pretending for, you orc with a heat cycle?"

"..." Lu Yi fell silent, his brows furrowing again as he recalled the heat cycle. Because his genes contained the heat cycle, Tang Bufan would also experience it under the influence of his mark.

Anderson put down the mirror in his hand, his expression becoming more serious: "I've been there, so don't have children until your relationship is completely stable."

After he finished speaking, he looked down at his bracelet, gently touched his "son" Anthony, and said in a lower voice, "Don't step into the same pitfalls I've fallen into."

Lu Yi looked at Anderson with mixed feelings. The two had been arguing frequently lately because of Tang Bufan. Now that Tang Bufan was awake, Lu Yi's anxiety subsided, and he was no longer so angry with Anderson.

However, he will definitely take Tang Bufan for a full-body check-up later, as it is still unclear whether Tang Bufan's liver has been affected by the drug.

"Anyway... thank you." Lu gently tossed the pink shopping bag to the ground, looking at a pacifier that Tang Bufan had chewed up on the table. "You've helped us a lot."

Anderson sneered, his voice icy, "Sometimes I really want to strangle both of you, but..."

Anderson sighed. "The Federation still needs you. As for the lady... she's not a very bad person."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yi with his silver-gray eyes, and his tone became slightly calmer: "You two are both too impulsive, but actually I have no right to say anything to you two, because I used to be one of you."

So he ended up in a mental hospital.

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped at that moment, and both of them shut their mouths simultaneously. Then Tang Bufan's voice came through:

"Lu Yi, can you get my clothes for me?"

Lu Yi quickly got up from the folding chair, took Tang Bufan's clothes from the box in the corner, and walked quickly to the bathroom door. Just as he was about to knock, he remembered something and glanced at Anderson with concern.

Anderson had been looking towards the bathroom, but after meeting Lu Yi's gaze, he realized what was happening. He raised an eyebrow and then turned away to look out the window, trying to be discreet.

Lu Yi then gently knocked on the door, waiting with some trepidation.

The door opened a crack, and billowing steam escaped. Lu Yi's heart began to race even before he saw the person. When a fair and slender hand emerged from the crack, he couldn't help but smile as he looked at that beautiful hand.

Tang Bufan's nails had returned to normal. Lu Yi handed him the clothes, and Tang Bufan took them, his fingertips brushing against Lu Yi's palm.

Lu Yi felt a jolt in his heart, as if every cell in his body had been jolted awake by Tang Bufan's touch.

The bathroom door closed gently again.

Lu Yi was still standing at the door, a smile playing on his lips, unable to suppress it.

Anderson rolled his eyes, really not wanting to admit that this silly kid was actually the future leader of their Western Federation.

"He's about to come out. Are you sure you want to show him this?" Anderson reminded Lu Yi, lightly kicking the shopping bag containing condoms on the ground with his military leather boots.

Lu Yi suddenly realized what was happening, quickly picked up the bag from the ground, looked around the carriage in a panic, and finally opened the kitchen sink cabinet and stuffed the shopping bag inside.

Tang Bufan just opened the door and came out. Lu Yi turned around to cover himself, using his body to block the sink, his heart pounding as he looked at Tang Bufan, who was covered in heat and had pink skin.

"What are you doing?" Tang Bufan looked at him strangely, glanced around the messy carriage, and picked up a towel from the ground.

He sniffed it, then immediately moved it away in disgust.

Oh my god, it smells awful.

When Lu Yi saw the look of disgust on his face, he immediately nervously stepped back, but he was already leaning against the sink and had nowhere to retreat.

Sure enough, Tang Bufan's gaze quickly fell on him.

Lu Yi thought of her haggard face and raised her arm to cover it up.

Tang Bufan frowned and moved closer to him, his slender fingers picking up his dirty clothes, then sniffing them, before gently pushing him into the bathroom.

"You should go take a shower too."

"Oh." Lu Yi covered his face with his arm and closed the bathroom door, his whole body turning red.

Tang Bufan then turned to look at Anderson.

"Ahem." Anderson, who was sitting by the window, immediately sat up straight and straightened his body slightly.

The bathroom was already occupied by Lu Yi, so Tang Bufan certainly couldn't kick him into the bathroom as well. At this time, the windows and doors of the RV were open to let the smell dissipate. Tang Bufan, who was only wearing an old sweater, felt cold, so he picked up the wolfskin coat on the ground and put it on.

He immediately let out a long breath, his body quickly warming up inside the wolfskin coat. Even though his long black hair was still dripping wet, he still felt the comfort of being under a quilt and having air conditioning on in the summer.

Tang Bufan raised his hand again and looked at his fingers, which had clearly regained their color. He realized that he had truly become a sub-beastman.

And the culprit is right in front of us.

Tang Bufan, wearing a wolfskin coat, smiled at Anderson, strolled over, and slammed his hand on the table with a "bang," startling the silver-haired, silver-eyed orc into sitting up straight again.

Tang Bufan sat down opposite him, and his face, which had regained seven-tenths of its former beauty, broke into a smile:

"I'm so glad I didn't die!"
